   Washingtons budget hawks want to decimate the federal workforce to shrink the deficit. It will have the opposite effect.
 There arent nearly enough counterterrorism experts to instruct all of Americas police. So we got these guys instead.
 Last year there wasn�t a single fatal airline accident in the developed world. So why is the U.S. health care system still accidently killing hundreds of thousands? The answer is a lack of transparency.

It's too bad the United States doesn't hold it's leaders accountable for their criminal activities. Posted by: The Conservative Deflator on May 8, 2008 at 10:22 PM | PERMALINKSuffice to say that Omri Sharon (the son of) is sitting in the big house for similar transactions... Posted by: Yoni on May 8, 2008 at 11:32 PM | PERMALINK"I don't know a whole lot about Israeli campaign finance laws, but I imagine that suitcases full of cash that go undeclared until a police raid on your home probably violate them." Oh, don't be so ethnocentric. Posted by: Ross Best on May 9, 2008 at 12:22 AM | PERMALINKI can go along with one suitcase, but beyond that, write a check. Those New York money people, always stirring up controversy... Posted by: Jimm on May 9, 2008 at 4:41 AM | PERMALINKPolitics is like a gang that requires you to kill someone to play, but then documents the killing to threaten you with, if you get out of line. Every major Israeli candidate has corruption skeletons. (Netanyahu has similar, Olmert, Peres had them, look what is happening with Shas). Not too different than the US. "I get most of my money from small donations" (600 million, but ignore the 40 million I get from the PACS). At least Israeli campaigns are short and theoretically less dependant on big bucks if they wanted to clean up their act. Posted by: Richard Witty on May 9, 2008 at 5:08 AM | PERMALINKPost a comment
